    They are predatory but that is not the only reason for them to make you return. What they do is merely stretching of muscles and ligaments releasing spasms and stress in them. These develop due to trauma, both due to injury and also due to one’s daily activities. So the stresses and strains return.

    These treatments are like Tai chi or yoga, which gently manipulates your body to its entire range of movements.

    Chiropractor does violent manipulation thus are prone to injury.

      Oh, no doubt.

      There are obviously better more ways to get proper treatment from real licensed professionals who actually know what they’re doing.

      Unfortunately, those ways often require insurance, a doctor referral, or a lot of money.
